JAKARTA - Human Rights Minister Natalius Pigai stated that his ministry would provide assistance and supervision to victims of alleged attacks on KontraS activists.
After the cabinet meeting at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Friday, March 13, Pigai also said he would check the location of the victim first before visiting.
"If for supervision assistance, of course we will carry it out," said Pigai.
The statement was made when Pigai was asked for a response to the alleged spraying of hard water on an activist. He said he would first find out information about the whereabouts of the victim.
"Try later we will find it. We will find it later. If it is already in the hospital, we will check," he said.
When asked if he would visit the victim, Pigai replied that there was no reason not to do so. However, he emphasized the need to first ensure whether the victim was still being treated in the hospital or had returned home.
"It must be. Why not. But I'll check the address first, make sure where it is, it turns out it has gone home or somewhere else," he said.
Beyond the issue of accompaniment, Pigai also asked law enforcement to complete the case. According to him, the victim and his family must be assured that the law works when violence strikes citizens, including civil society activists.
